Gibraltar to host Malta in June

Gibraltar will host Malta in a friendly on June 4th
as the new UEFA members look to prepare for their first European Championship
qualification campaign later this year.

The sides will meet for the first time

The game will likely take place at the Victoria Stadium
which was the venue for Gibraltar’s back-to-back defeats to the Faroe Islands
and Estonia earlier this month.With the Estádio Algarve in Faro, Portugal Gibraltar's home ground for the European Championship qualifiers there's a chance the game could be played there.

The non-FIFA side travel to Tallinn on May 26th
before the Maltese, who lost 2-0 to Albania in March, travel to the Mediterranean
for a first meeting with Gibraltar.

The Gibraltar Football Association no doubt see the game as an opportunity to gain a positive result on the back of the disappointing results during the last international break.
